Michael Koryta – video interview
You can’t help but be a little jealous when it comes to the career of Michael Koryta. Over the last six years, Koryta has published six successful, compulsively readable novels, including the popular Lincoln Perry P.I. series and the near perfect standalone thriller, Envy the Night. But what makes his career all the more enviable [...]
Ace Atkins – video interview
In my opinion the toughest sub-genre of crime fiction to write is the historical crime novel. Only a handful of writers have seemed to master it: Craig McDonald, Meagan Abbott, James Ellroy. However, you can count Ace Atkins among the few who’ve turned the form on its head. With his four historical noirs—White Shadow, Wicked [...]
Crimefactory Crime Zine – Issue 2 Available!
So while almost everyone was sleeping last night, the second issue of Crimefactory dropped onto the interwebs. We’re really proud of this one. Liam really stepped it up a notch with the graphics to match the amazing contributions of this issue’s writers, and we’ve got all the usual new fiction, reviews, and features plus our [...]
Craig McDonald – video interview – part 2
I will let my introduction to the first half of our interview speak for me. Craig McDonald is an idol and an author whom I greatly respect, and I was thrilled to be able to sit down and talk with him. In part two of my interview with McDonald, which I conducted at the Poisoned [...]
Craig McDonald – video interview – part 1
I don’t think I’ve been more intimidated by an interview subject as I was by Craig McDonald. Here was a man who had interviewed nearly every crime writer of consequence in the past decade: Ellroy. Crumley. Woodrell. Sallis. Bruen. Leonard. And the questions he asked weren’t just your simple, “Where do you get your ideas?” pap [...]
Dennis Tafoya – video interview
They’ve gotta be putting something in the water in Philly. Seriously, over the last sixty years (and if you listen to certain cantankerous scholars, much longer than that), the city of brotherly love has produced some of the finest crime and genre writers in the United States. But in particular, the last decade has produced [...]
T. Jefferson Parker – Interview
When you sit talking with T. Jefferson Parker, the feeling you get from him is almost like that of an older brother or a favorite uncle. He’s plain spoken and friendly; the type of guy you wouldn’t mind spending an afternoon with splitting a six-pack while tuning up the engine of your ’79 Mustang under [...]
Charlie Huston Interview – part 2 video
I could start the second introduction to my interview with Charlie Huston by providing more quotes from authors and news agencies who’ve heaped praise on Huston’s impressive body of work; instead I’ll simply congratulate him on his recent Edgar award nomination for his extraordinary novel, The Mystic Art for Erasing All Signs of Death. With [...]
Charlie Huston Interview – part 1 video
Writing my introduction to my interview with Charlie Huston is an easy one, because all I really need to is quote the massive amount of praise that’s been heaped upon the Southern Californian novelist over the last six years.

Joseph Wambaugh – video interview
There isn’t much I can say about Joseph Wambaugh that hasn’t been said before. His laurels speak for themselves: Cop, novelist, film and television producer, journalist, Mystery Writers of America Grand Master, and one of the acknowledged fathers of the modern police procedural. And on December 2nd at the Poisoned Pen, I had the pleasure to sit down and talk with this incredibly charismatic and legendary novelist.
